Bringing the Bois Forte Ojibwe History & Culture Alive

The Bois Forte Heritage Center & Cultural Museum is located on the shores of Lake Vermilion and on the grounds of the Fortune Bay Casino. The museum, owned and operated by the Bois Forte Band, is dedicated to telling the Bois Forte Ojibwe story, as our name, Atisokanigamig, or Legend House, implies.

Heritage & History for All

We have visitors from all over the world, including students ranging from kindergarten classes to college groups, tribal members from other nations, indigenous people from other countries, and local business staff and management. These visitors love to learn about our proud heritage and history, many leaving with a different perspective of Native people, and in turn we have learned about their heritage as well.
